Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] selftests/landlock: Test LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_NO_NEW_PRIVS
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 18:31:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803223109.707353-3-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803223109.707353-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>
Check that a successful landlock_restrict_self(2) call with
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_NO_NEW_PRIVS sets no_new_privs without a prior
prctl(2) call nor CAP_SYS_ADMIN, that a failed call from both an
invalid ruleset and hitting the layer maximum leaves the attribute
unchanged, and that LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC extends it to sibling
threads. Also check that this flag requires a ruleset, and update the
restrict_self_checks_ordering EPERM checks since this flag is now
checked before the flags validity.
Finally, rename restrict_self_fd_logging_flags to
restrict_self_fd_flags, and restrict_self_logging_flags to
restrict_self_flags to indicate that non-logging flags are now tested.
Update the ABI version and last-flag checks accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Justin Suess <utilityemal77@gmail.com>

Notes:
v2->v3:
- Run clang-format
- Add max-layers tests (base_test and tsync_test) checking E2BIG and
that a failed call leaves no_new_privs unchanged
- Mention the test renames in the commit message
- Match comment style of surrounding tests
